    Unfairly reviewed at launch, like Starfield. Overall a fantastic game by Bethesda. Great gameplay and hundreds of hours of content

    I'm fully immersed into the fallout world, everything is so genuine, every character and every story is so intriguing just like Fallout 3. Only flaw is that some side quests are similar and only wish is let next fallout release as soon as possible!

    Quick background on me the reviewer, I tend to like single player games that is heavy on narrative the most. I also play a lot of racing games and use to play multiplayer games in my high school days but now that it's hard for me and my friends to find a good time to link up so now it’s rarer for me to get into a multiplayer game.

Up to try any genre of games and sometimes I find something new that I didn't think I'd like. I own a PC (built by me), Xbox One X, Xbox Series X, PS3, PS4, PS5, and a Switch. I prefer Playstation due to their focus on narrative games. For scoring, I’ll be using the Gameinformer review scale and of course influenced by my personal opinions.

    (8) Very Good. Innovative, but perhaps not the right choice for everyone. This score indicates that there are many good things to be had, but arguably so.

    Who knew exploring a radioactive wasteland can be fun. The Fallout series continues to do a great job with notable companions and NPCs. Just wish they didn't throw camp building and sanctuary missions at you constantly and that the story is arc isn't foreseen from the start. First person shooting has been improved to compared to previous entries of the series, but still could use some work. I also wish there were tough choices to make like previous Fallout games. Now we have a better looking waste land to explore while we wait for the next one.    … Expand

    Nice graphics and gameplay. The story was a bit weird but it was still nice. Didn't know it was RPG when I first got it but fell in love with the genre ever since I played this game, same goes for the music on the radio. Can't wait to try the mods.

    I'm a Fallout fan: New Vegas, but this part is also very good. The graphics are still nice, but it lacks the atmosphere of New Vegas.

The added things you can also get with mods really bump the game up. If there was no support for mods and I could only play the vanilla version, then this would be a 6/10 maybe a light 7.

    I also don't feel as excited to explore as much I as did in previous Bethesda games. For me personally, the empty and dead wasteland isn't an appealing thing to explore. My sense of wonder is gone and I stick to quests and maybe some settlement building to have fun. Whereas with previous BGS titles, I could mess around the world doing anything and still have fun. Hours could go by and I wouldn't have done a single quest, I'd just be exploring and finding whatever shenanigans I could get myself into.

    All in all, I would recommend this game but I would recommend getting it on PC. Just so you have full access to any mods like in Nexus mods, and not limited to the select mods that Bethesda has greenlit through creation club on consoles. I would be hesitant to recommend this title in it's vanilla form.    … Expand

    2nd best Fallout game because the choices are very limited and there are many game breaking bugs like an NPC just doesnt talks to you in a quest and you cant finish that quest. Other than that the game is very above an average game and made improvements in every way to Fallout 3.

    This game brings the core elements from New Vegas and Fallout 3, but it takes the game in a completely new direction with the addition of the settlement building system. The mods alongside the settlement system result this game being the best overall Fallout game of the series.

    Не лишенная недостатков, но великолепная в остальном. Колесо диалогов и упор в экшн можно потерпеть, хотя бы потому что экшн здесь выполнен блистательно.
    Отдельное спасибо можно сказать за качественные и интересные DLC.

    I stopped using the best version the Steam version after (IMO) Valve started selling borderline pedo sex games. Just using the PC M$ Game Pass version and it has a a weird gas can exploding bug that tanks the FPS to freeze frame (until the map and/or cells reset over a period of game days). Community modder made a hot fix. So thankfully I play the M$ version as good as Steam version now

    Fun shooter, looter, explorer, crafter, base builder game. When the story and missions get old all you got left is the local and gameplay anyway. The main story did give me some feels though. A person out of time who had lost so much on so many levels. Anyone married and/or with kids should be able to relate for sure. Weakest part is the exploration and local. FO3 is still king in both of those departments over FO4 (and FNV).

    Currently playing the M$ version on the M$ client. I ended up earning points which I transfered into vouchers to buy games two thirds way into run of FO4. Just by playing FO4 I got TEW and Deathwing both wiith all the DLC. Yeah M$ version is so best version lol.    … Expand

    I can't believe Bethesda paid money to buy right for this dead-beat franchise with PS1 graphics top-down games, like it's nintendo or something. They probably found the intellectual property right in a garbage can or something xDDDD

    I'm a user who played Skyrim for 8 years. However, I had a very big complaint about the main character being mute in Skyrim, and after playing this game, all the complaints disappeared, and this is the perfect game.

    A game that has new and better things although I understand that it needs some dlc with other stories as in fallout new vegas, better I mean because there are half **** but it is a game in which I have more hours, more than in fallout new vegas, and the mods is good that they want to make the game realistic or something like that but there are already many and bored a lot.

    My favourite Fallout game to date.

    Why? Because I can basically make whatever experience I want with this game. Survival? Check. Shooter? Check. Base Builder? Check.

    It's not even that buggy, especially with the amazing modding community fixing stuff Bethesda can't be bothered to.

    Is it perfect? No. Is it fun? Yes.

    After terrible first couple of hours Fallout 4 pulled itself together and ultimately was almost as fun as The Witcher 3. There’s a huge chasm between these two games in terms of technology (F4 looks like a X360 game), but their open worlds are equally good and Bethesda did a better job with crafting. [01/2016, p.42]

    This isn’t the step forward I expected, though. Here we are, the first Bethesda game on a new hardware generation, and I can’t help feeling like we’ve regressed—like Fallout 4 really is Oblivion-with-guns. A decade later, it certainly makes many of the same mistakes.

    It’s easy to get carried away by Fallout 4’s massive open world. While the gunplay is much improved and the quests fun, I found the UI lacking on the PC. The inventory and build menus are really tedious to use. [Dec 2015]
